=========================================================================
== PURPOSE ==
This package, initially a collection of Michael Covington's private macros, provides
numerous minor LaTeX enhancements for linguistics, including multiple accents on the
same letter, interlinear glosses (word-by-word translations), Discourse Represenation
Structures, and example numbering.
The package works both with LaTeX 2.09 and LaTeX 2e.
== CONTENTS ==
The package consists of the following files:
* covington.sty: the actual package
* covington.tex: the documentation
* README (this file)
== CHANGES ==
* Version 1.2 (2016-08-26):
- New length \examplenumbersep to adjust (increase) the horizontal space
between example number and example text.
- Add some more info about bibliography generation.
* Version 1.1a (2016-07-07):
- Fix encoding problem in documentation and some typos. No change in functionality.
* Version 1.1 (2016-07-06):
- The package now uses NFSS font commands if available (fallback for LaTeX 2.09
is still provided).
- Work around clash with classes/packages that define their own example and
examples environments (most notably the beamer class) as well as execise
environments. The covington package no longer blindly attempts to define
these environments. By default, it does not define them if they are already
defined (covington's own environments, however, are still available via aliases).
By means of a new package option, a redefinition can also be forced.
- New length \twoaccsep allows for the adjustment of the distance between stacked
accents.
- Update manual.
- New maintainer: J. Spitzmueller.
- License has been changed to LPPL (in agreement with M. Covington).
- Introduce version numbers. Arbitrarily, we start with 1.1.
